Puzo’s 1969 The Godfather novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the Corleone family, which was of course adapted into film and released in 1972 followed by The Godfather Part II in 1974 to massive fanfare and acclaim including Best Picture Oscar wins for both films. Watch an introduction to the project from director Francis Ford Coppola courtesy of Paramount Pictures: “With these changes and the restored footage and sound, to me, it is a more appropriate conclusion to The Godfather and The Godfather Part II and I’m thankful to Jim Gianopulos and Paramount for allowing me to revisit it.” “For this version of the finale, I created a new beginning and ending, and rearranged some scenes, shots, and music cues,” Coppola said. Opening December 4 to select theaters and arriving on Blu-ray Tuesday, the final film in the epic Godfather trilogy was re-edited to fulfill Coppola and co-screenwriter Puzo’s original vision along with their preferred title, according to the director. To celebrate the film’s 30th anniversary, the acclaimed director and Paramount Pictures released a reworking of The Godfather Part III– now titled Mario Puzo’s The Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone.
